Located on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip, Circus Circus Hotel, Casino & Theme Park has been a family favorite for years. With circus acts in the midway, thrilling rides in The Adventuredome and both casual and gourmet dining, this hotel has something for everyone.
Since opening in 1968, Circus Circus has appeared on screen in many films. It was a malevolent wonderland in Hunter S. Thompson’s “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” and a backdrop to the foreign intrigue in the James Bond thriller “Diamonds Are Forever.” The quirky romance between Austin Powers and Vanessa Kensington blossoms in front of the iconic clown marquee in “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.”

It might be safe to say that Caesars Palace is synonymous with Las Vegas. Its lavish rooms, splendorous pools, world-class shopping, extravagant entertainment, gourmet dining and hot nightlife continue to define just what “doing Vegas” is all about.
Unlike many of its contemporaries that have been imploded into dust over the years — Caesars Palace opened in 1966 — the resort continues to innovate and reinvent itself without sacrificing that classic Rome-via-Vegas atmosphere: unparalleled service, majestic surroundings and a true circus maximus of diversions.
Where should one even begin? That’s easy…with the stellar entertainment. Continuing to raise the bar for shows in Vegas, Caesars Palace offers incredible headliner productions — starring Celine Dion, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Mariah Carey and Reba with Brooks & Dunn and several other music and comedy legends — in its voluminous show venue the Colosseum. An edgy, circus-style show for adults, “Absinthe” has also pitched its tent-style theater in front of the Roman Empire.
There are several cool bars to chill out in at the resort. Cleopatra’s Barge, the luxurious floating lounge, transports you back to the time of Julius Caesar. The Seahorse Lounge houses a 1,700-gallon aquarium filled with Australian pot belly seahorses at its entrance. A bar and lounge called Fizz Las Vegas serves high-end champagnes by the glass or bottle along with exquisite choices of caviar, charcuterie and small plates. Vista Cocktail Lounge combines custom-crafted cocktails along with LED portals that showcase panoramic views from around the world.
Boasting an ornately designed domed four-story roof, the luxurious Omnia Nightclub houses a seductive ultra lounge, a high-energy main room with one of the largest dance floors in Vegas, a mezzanine with private booths and a breathtaking rooftop garden. There’s also an impressive roster of DJs spinning here.
The ever-growing list of amazing dining options — in both the casino and the renowned shopping mecca that is the The Forum Shops at Caesars — features celebrity chefs like Bobby Flay with his Southwestern fare at Mesa Grill, Michel Richard of Central and Guy Savoy. Guests can also enjoy rare delights from the likes of Sushi Roku or for less adventurous palettes, there are comfort-food options like The Cheesecake Factory. The Old Homestead Steakhouse, a venerable New York City steakhouse, serves up its iconic cuts of meat and classic sides at the resort. The Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill offers an array of British-oriented food from lamb T-bone to fish and chips as well as have a striking bar with 36 beers on tap and 24 bottled beers. Searsucker is known for its cowboy attitude and signature items such as the 38-ounce bone-in ribeye tomahawk. The Bacchanal Buffet is a 25,000-square-foot homage to eating.
Of course, before high-class shopping and gourmet restaurants, Caesars Palace was known as the casino in Las Vegas for anyone who is anyone to throw around their cash. And the 129,000-square-foot casino continues to be a prime destination for high rollers, celebrities and those looking to become either of the two. Excitement is always on tap in 62-table poker room and throughout the fast-paced race and sports book.
Even mere mortals can experience service and amenities worthy of the Olympian gods, from the artisan-like hair, skin and nail treatments available at Color salon run by Michael Boychuck to the 55,000-square-foot Qua Baths & Spa, which is known for its signature Roman bath rituals.
Caesars Palace boasts five room towers. The spacious rooms in its Augustus and Octavius towers are known as The Laurel Collection. They provide an elevated guest experience with added luxuries like a unique hotel app, a dedicated service staff and direct access to the Garden of the Gods pool oasis.
The world’s first Nobu Hotel has also opened inside the resort. Created by celebrity chef Nobu Matsuhisa, the 181-room boutique property offers a distinctly Japanese experience in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip. On the ground floor of Caesars Palace, it boasts the world’s largest Nobu Restaurant and Lounge, at 12,775 square feet. In addition to a sushi bar, private dining areas, an open kitchen and two chef’s tables, this is the only Nobu restaurant in the world to have three sizzling teppanyaki tables.
If you crave the maximum Vegas experience, there simply is no argument more compelling than one night’s stay at Caesars Palace. Don’t take our word for it. See for yourself.
Encore, another beautiful resort from the Wynn collection, complements Wynn Las Vegas’ repertoire of accommodations, culinary offerings and leisure activities with additional designer boutiques, six bars and lounges, four signature restaurants and an opulent spa and salon. It boasts a younger, more modern vibe than its forerunner.
Encore takes a casually elegant approach to ambiance with sunlit corridors and atriums overflowing with flowers and plants, intimate nooks and theatrical eateries with dramatic flair. There is a signature butterfly motif on the carpeting and in other accents, as that is a symbol of good luck. High-energy music also wafts throughout the corridors. Nearly 130 ruby red glass chandeliers made by hand in Italy adorn the ceiling of the casino floor.
Although Wynn Las Vegas is home to 14 prestigious eateries, Encore has a smaller but similarly accomplished all-star team of chefs. Five signature restaurants pair master chefs and their personally prepared gourmet fare to create culinary experiences that please the most discerning and well-traveled palates. This includes Sinatra, a fine dining Italian restaurant by well-known Los Angeles chef Theo Schoenegger that pays homage to Ol’ Blue Eyes. Named for the mythical crystal dragon that presides over this dramatic Pan-Asian café, Wazuzu showcases Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Singaporean and Thai cuisines.
Dinner at the resort can be preceded or followed by a show. Wynn Theater showcases the eye-popping aqua production “Le Rêve – The Dream.” XS, one of the most expensive clubs ever built (gold glimmers everywhere the eye can see), and Surrender Nightclub are two great nightlife offerings at Encore, where the European-inspired poolside ambiance mingles with a club-like vibe to create an oasis. Encore is also home to Encore Players Bar, a hip new martini bar featuring 150 flavored vodkas, and Andrea’s, a unique dining and nightlife combination. Andrea’s is adjacent to Surrender and showcases an Asian-inspired menu, including dim sum, sushi, noodles and steaks, of Chef Joseph Elevado.
A vibrant atrium, spa, the Claude Baruk Salon and the many designer boutiques in the Esplanade at Encore round out the experience.
The 2,034 spacious suites at Encore start at 700 square feet and feature wall-to-wall windows with spectacular views of the city. Standard amenities include flat-panel TVs in front of both the bed and living areas, along with a 19-inch flat-screen TV in the bathroom. All the linens, robes, slippers and bath products are of the highest caliber. You’ll certainly sleep in the lap of luxury here.
With a coveted location at the heart of Strip — near all the amazing attractions as well as across the street from the Fashion Show mall — a stay at Encore provides the perfect base for your Las Vegas visit as well as an intimate, extravagant escape from the hustle and bustle of your day-to-day life.

The casino at Arizona Charlie’s Boulder is expansive with more than 1,000 slot and video poker machines both upstairs and downstairs, as well as table games and a race & sports book.

There is a pool and hot tub at the hotel and a smaller pool at the RV Park to round out the experience (note: both pools are open seasonally).
As part of the Arizona Charlie’s chain, this hotel-casino provides a great respite on the east side of Las Vegas.
The Fiesta Rancho casino-hotel, comfortably located away from the frantic rush of the Las Vegas Strip and downtown, offers a pleasant, locals-friendly atmosphere along with the same excitement and amenities that distinguish Strip resorts.
Of course, the Fiesta Rancho offers amenities that you won’t find on the Strip, most notably its NHL regulation-sized SoBe Ice Arena, which is available for public skating.
Another standout feature of the Fiesta Rancho is its restaurant selection. The 600-seat Festival Buffet offers 11 food stations and a wide variety of cuisine spanning the globe from China to Italy and back. The food court offers a variety of fast food options.
The Fiesta Rancho holds itself up as the “Official Royal Flush Capital of the World.” So, it makes sense that the resort’s 50,000-square-foot casino is not to be missed. After all, it had to earn that title somehow.
Just six miles from the Strip, Sam’s Town Hotel & Gambling Hall is nestled in the shadow of the Sunrise Mountains in Las Vegas and boasts more than 600 rooms, decorated in a Southwestern theme.
Taking what was a calculated risk for 1979, father and son Sam and Bill Boyd opened Sam’s Town. Their goal was to create an environment where locals would feel comfortable playing. More than three decades in business, Sam’s Town has become an indispensable stop for locals and visitors alike.
Rooms are built around a truly spectacular indoor atrium, Mystic Falls Park, that must be seen to be believed. With a nine-story glass roof and a 25,000-square-foot indoor area filled with trees, waterfalls and footpaths, it is one of Las Vegas’ unique surprises.
The restaurants here are among the town’s most popular. The extensive menu at The Angry Butcher, featuring huge steaks with all the fixin’s is as delicious as they come. T.G.I. Friday’s has an outpost in Sam’s Town, as do several fast food eateries including McDonald’s, Panda Express and Subway.
The free “Sunset Stampede,” a dancing waters and laser show, dazzles crowds nightly. Dozens of other amenities — including a 56-lane bowling center, an 18-screen movie theater, an arcade, Gatsby’s Salon and the Sam’s Town Live entertainment complex — serve only to complement what is still one of the most popular locals’ casinos, with three separate floors of round-the-clock gaming action, a fine race and sports book, a lively bingo hall and a poker room.
Among the hotel amenities are free daily shuttle service to the Strip and downtown, a pool, laundry services and a rental car desk. There are even two RV parks with a total of more than 500 spacious spots.
It may not be on the Strip or in the heart of downtown, but Sam’s Town is still every bit the quintessential Las Vegas experience. Missing this resort is to miss the frontier spirit that built Las Vegas from the dust in the first place.
**Construction on the hotel will commence on May 29 and last until October 1, 2017. Don’t be alarmed if you hear a little more noise than usual. And the Mystic Falls Park will be closed from April 17 – May 17. When you arrive, the front desk will alert you of said construction and will answer any questions you may have.**
One of downtown Las Vegas’ most brilliant treasures, Main Street Station Casino, Brewery & Hotel is just steps from the Fremont Street Experience but years apart.
Filled almost to overflowing with antiques, rarities and memorabilia — including a chandelier from Paris’ renowned Figaro Opera House and a section of the Berlin Wall — there’s something here to impress nearly everyone, even before one samples Main Street Station’s terrific hospitality. Hanging above the table games are antique fixtures from the Coca-Cola Building in Austin, Texas. There is stained glass from singer/actress Lillian Russell’s mansion. The hotel offers a brochure so you can take your own self-guided tour to discover the treasures that await throughout the property.
Without a doubt, however, the star attraction is the Triple 7 Restaurant and Microbrewery. With oysters, sushi, gourmet pizzas and garlic herb french fries that simply can’t be beat, there are plenty of great tastes to accompany the establishment’s handcrafted brews.
Main Street Station also boasts one of the best buffets around. The Garden Court Buffet has a one-of-a-kind atmosphere (imagine a vaulted ceiling with countless chandeliers and ceiling fans) paired with every culinary delight imaginable.
After eating, one has a wide range of options available: enjoying the 28,000-square-foot casino, wandering over to Fremont Street for the spectacular light and sound shows, or retiring to one of more than 400 luxurious, wood-accented rooms.
True to its name, Main Street Station is one of downtown’s main attractions. Whether visiting or staying overnight, a lengthy stop here isn’t only recommended but also unavoidable, and for the best possible reasons.
Hooters Casino Hotel, just east of the Las Vegas Strip, is home to a namesake Hooters restaurant and, of course, the world-famous Hooters Girls in tiny orange hot pants and white tank tops. But it offers so much more.
Not only is there an array of scantily clad ladies, but Hooters Casino Hotel also has a little something for everyone. The resort’s comfortable rooms are island-casual with tropical prints on the comforters and all the standard amenities. The casino is always packed with action and includes table games like roulette, craps and blackjack as well as plenty of slot and video poker machines, a poker room and a William Hill sports book.
Cocktails are available throughout the resort — in spots like Pete & Shorty’s.
Eating options include Hooters restaurant, featuring the “nearly world-famous” buffalo wings. Mad Onion Fine Food & Spirits is great place to enjoy a fine dinner. The décor is contemporary and the restaurant also boasts an intimate lounge.
Hooters Casino Hotel’s hospitality extends out to the resort’s pool area. Open 24/7, there are two tropical themed pools and a waterfall. Hooters Girls are also there to serve you a cold beverage at the pool bar.
Best of all, no one has to leave empty-handed. While the Hooters Girls have to stay behind, true fans can bring home a piece of the resort from Splurge, a shop that sells all sorts of Hooters Casino Hotel logo merchandise and memorabilia.
Hailed as Las Vegas’ “Most Historic Hotel,” the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino in downtown has stood the test of time and then some.
Since opening as the Hotel Nevada in 1906, this corner establishment has stood placidly at One Fremont Street while the city — and the world — changed around it. Most notably, Fremont Street Experience with free light shows and special events was built right outside its doors.
In step with the revitalization spreading throughout downtown Las Vegas, the Golden Gate underwent a major expansion not too long ago. A stunning lobby exhibits items from the hotel’s notable past — things like a Kellogg telephone and ledgers from 1907. There’s a high-limit gaming area in a nook just off the enlarged casino floor, which was also refurbished with new carpeting. The bathrooms have been redone, and silhouettes of either a gangster or flapper make them easy to find.
Also in the casino, guests will encounter the resort’s signature “dancing dealers” from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. nightly. The Bar Prohibition! in the casino is the place to go for a cocktail. With a classic speakeasy vibe, it boasts having once served Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. The One Bar with its bikini-clad and flair bartenders is also a great gathering spot located outside on Fremont Street.
Very little has changed to compromise the Golden Gate’s old school charm. The décor elements harken back to the Roaring ’20s or the Rat Pack era, while the latest technology has been utilized to bring the hotel into modern times. The existing 106 rooms have all been updated and now include hip amenities like 32-inch flat-screen televisions, Keurig coffee makers, pillow-top mattresses and iHome clock radios.
The hotel has opened a five-story tower that is home to 16 luxury suites, including two penthouses that cover the fifth floor. It also features a porte cochère for valet parking and the hotel’s exterior has contemporary pinstripe lighting accents.
The Golden Gate offers the best of both worlds. Guests can enjoy the intimate atmosphere of a historic boutique hotel and then step outside the front doors into the heart of the action in downtown Las Vegas.
With first-class accommodations and a slew of acclaimed chefs, The Palazzo is the perfect respite for those seeking a taste of the finer things in life. From a three-story Barneys New York to a beautiful waterfall atrium, the resort is always striving to reach new heights in the hospitality industry.
As the largest LEED-certified building in the world, the resort is also committed to the environment. During the construction of The Palazzo, some 70 percent of waste materials were recycled, diverting nearly 42,000 tons from the landfill. Numerous green initiatives regarding recycling, energy, lighting, water, air quality and cleaning products are also in place here.
Combined with The Venetian and the Sands Expo and Convention Center, The Palazzo is among the largest hotel and convention complexes in the world. The two hotels are connected by The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian | The Palazzo, an 875,000-square-foot multilevel shopping complex with approximately 160 high-end stores — including Barneys — and water features like The Palazzo’s stunning Waterfall Atrium and The Venetian’s indoor canal. Amenities at The Palazzo and The Venetian are interchangeable, and together the properties boast the most James Beard award-winning restaurants under one roof.
A cathedral ceiling majestically tops the casino, while a second 80-foot dome floods the lobby with natural light. With 139 types of games, as well as countless slot and video poker machines, the casino floor itself lacks the stale smell of cigarette smoke typically found in Las Vegas casinos. As a property certified by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), smoking is off limits for the majority of The Palazzo — including 50 percent of the casino floor.
The resort’s 3,066 all-suite rooms start at 720 square feet and are decorated with a modern Italian style. They provide all the comforts of home along with the luxuries of a high-class hotel, and include sunken living rooms, remote-controlled draperies, multiple flat-screen TVs and Roman tubs. The Prestige Suites, located on the 23rd floor, offer enhanced VIP treatment with a champagne check-in and access to an exclusive lounge where a complimentary breakfast, hors d’oeuvres and cocktails are served.
Dining is inarguably second to none at The Palazzo with restaurants like celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck’s Cut, an AAA Four Diamond Award-winning steakhouse. Carnaval-inspired SushiSamba unites Brazilian flavors, Peruvian tastes and Japanese technique. Chef Mario Batali’s Carnevino is for connoisseurs of aged beef, and chef Emeril Lagasse’s Table 10, inspired by his flagship New Orleans restaurant, showcases bold Creole cooking. Grimaldi’s, a New York City import, serves up its incomparable thin crust pizza.
Adjacent to SushiSamba is its sister venue, The Lounge at SushiSamba, a vibrant boutique nightclub featuring interactive entertainment. Another hotspot for dining and drinks is the Mediterranean-inspired Lavo.
For a more casual meal, enjoy light fare at Wolfgang Puck’s seasonal restaurant, Solaro, located at the five-acre pool complex on the hotel’s fourth floor. Also on the pool level near the entrance to the Canyon Ranch SpaClub, the Canyon Ranch Grill offers healthy options as well as a menu of organic liquor.
Those seeking sophistication and elegance on their Vegas vacation will find it here. The Palazzo is unparalleled in providing world-class dining, shopping and accommodations right in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip.
A huge bingo room. A bowling alley. Two top-notch Asian restaurants. These amenities and more make the off-Strip Gold Coast beloved by visitors and locals alike.
Located a mile west of Las Vegas Boulevard on Flamingo Road, it’s hard to believe this resort hasn’t been around since the turn of the century, luring the citizens of the West and beyond to its abundant gaming and entertainment by the wagonload. A classic gambling hall charm pervades the Gold Coast, from its frontier-style exterior to its 120,000-square-foot casino. In addition to the 720-seat bingo hall, the hotel boasts a bustling race and sports book as well as more than 2,100 of the most popular slot and video poker machines around.
If gaming’s not your bag, the Gold Coast offers plenty of other diversions, including a 70-lane bowling center and a showroom that features a variety of live entertainment.
Of course, you won’t go hungry in this place. Gold Coast offers a score of diverse dining options. It offers exotic Asian specialties of Ping Pang Pong and the Noodle Exchange. T.G.I. Friday’s even has a location inside the resort, so you can always grab an affordable slab of ribs or tuck into a sizzling chicken and cheese skillet.
Take all of this and add a great swimming pool, meeting rooms, a salon, a barber shop and a convenient location directly across from both the Rio and the Palms hotels, and you’ll realize why the Gold Coast remains such a treasured gem.
